2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

2.1 General description of the machine
The CUTTER BAR, of TR and TRM series, has been designed, built and protected for use exclusively in the agricultural sector (for
contraindications of use see paragraph 2.1.2). In the design and construction, all the necessary measures were taken to give a
high-quality, reliable product, fully complying with the regulations in force and particular with accident prevention.
The manufacturer has designed this implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance
of accidents.
2.1.1 Intended uses
The machine was designed, constructed, and provided with protective devices to be used exclusively in the agricultural sector
for the cutting and pruning of hedges, bushes, and tree branches to a maximum diameter of 8 cm (TR series) or 5 cm (TRM
series).
The machine is applied to the end of a jointed arm (mounted on a tractor, triad, loading shovel, excavator, etc, referred to from
now on simply as "tractor") by adjusting the field of work using a hydraulic ram positioned on the arm itself. These machines are
constructed from a structure in which the working element is formed by 2 appropriately shaped blades - one fixed stationary to
the frame and the other movable – that create shearing movement.
The machine is not indicated for use in sectors other than agriculture and road maintenance.
The machine must be used by only one operator
Any use other than that specified is considered improper

FERRI srl declines all responsibility if the safety decals supplied with the machine are missing, illegible or shifted from their original
position.
If any decal is damaged or missing, you must ask to be sent a new one, quoting the machine identification data given on the
data plate.
This machine is usually used in daytime.
In conditions of reduced visibility, the tractor's lighting system must be used.
If exceptional night-time use is required, an auxiliary lighting system must be provided in order to guarantee good visibility in the
whole work area without dangerous reflections for the operator, in addition to sufficient lighting in the cabin in order to guarantee
identification of the controls.
